Re: New wheel colour - but which colour to choose?!?
Realistically I will either whack them on and live with it or change them to a grey / titanium colour. Perhaps the same colour as the titanium part of the original wheels.
The car is off all next week to have full PPF and ceramic coating applied so I'll get the wheels sorted the week after.

Are they bronze? Look more like grey in that light. Look good though.

Thanks Glyn, I like that a lot. Would you happen to have a photo side on so I can see a little better?
Cheers.

Here is a side view, although not a great shot on a very dull day. Car still a bit high having just come off the jack and not yet settled (in fact you still just see the jacking point insert, yet to be removed - if you need one of these I recomend this high quality alloy one eBay link ):

Re: New wheel colour - but which colour to choose?!?
Winter wheels now painted and on the car. What do you think? Decided to go for a matte grey that was the same (or close to) the grey on the 21" Performance wheels that came with the car. Got them done at Wheel Pro Scotland in Edinburgh. Good bunch of guys. Very friendly and helpful service.

Re: New wheel colour - but which colour to choose?!?
I think the colour looks really good and suits the car. The 20" OEM wheels really suit the car. I tend to prefer them to the PE wheels. I've got the anthracite PE wheels on an all black car as well and this would be the look I would go for on mine...

They look very nice. I think the slightly lighter shade looks good on a black car.
